Delhi High Court Orders 72-Hour Takedowns to Protect Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan’s Personality Rights

The bench set a 72-hour deadline for named sites to pull infringing links.

Overview

  • Justice Tejas Karia restrained entities from using the actors’ names, images and voices through technology or for commercial gain without consent.
  • The court directed removal of specified URLs within 72 hours, naming platforms including aishwaryaworld.com and apkpure.com.
  • The petitions cited AI-morphed explicit videos, impersonating chatbots such as Janitor AI, fake ‘official’ sites and unauthorized merchandise sales.
  • The court said such misuse can mislead the public about endorsements and infringes privacy and the right to live with dignity.
  • The next hearing in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s case is set for January 15, following earlier Delhi High Court protections for Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff.
